In China, we usually shake hands and smile when we meet someone new. For good friends, we might pat each other on the shoulder. But in Brazil, people are much more warm and outgoing—they often greet with a big hug and even cheek kisses, even if they just meet for the first time! Next, clothes. In China, we like to dress modestly. For business or formal events, we often wear suits or other formal clothes. Brazilians love bright, colorful and casual clothes in daily life, but when they go to parties, they dress very elegantly and eye-catching. Then, giving and receiving gifts. In China, we always give gifts with both hands, and we never give clocks or pears because they sound like bad luck in Chinese. Also, we usually open the gift later, not in front of the giver. But in Brazil, people give gifts with one hand, and they open the gift right away to show how happy and thankful they are. When visiting others, Chinese people always bring small gifts like fruits or snacks, and we try to arrive on time. Brazilians are more relaxed about time—they might arrive a little later than the planned time, and they often bring flowers or chocolates as gifts. For eating customs, Chinese people use chopsticks and share all the dishes on the table. Brazilians use knives and forks, and they love their famous barbecue, called churrasco. Their meals are usually slow and lively, full of laughter with family and friends. Finally, conversation topics. In China, we like to talk about work, family and daily life, but we avoid asking about age, money or other private things. Brazilians are big fans of football, music and festivals—they love talking about these topics and keep their conversations very lively and fun!
